He points j out mat a scan entails no expense on tne state, because it carries no saLaries, and all of the members of the staff furnish tieir own uniforms and equipment. The governor's staff is purely an honorary Institution wHieh has no authority or power, and it has always been regarded as an ornamental body. Governor Durb'n was the las!

IX t., Nov. 21. : Following a half day s session, in ! which no witnesses v .1 e heard, the , federal grand jury, which has been investigating reports of election , frauds in Indiana, adjourned Thursday until December 6. As no witnesses i w. re heard it was supposed that the ! grand jury had been preparing its in1 dictments, if any were to be returned, , but no announcement of any action w a made. ' It was believed about the Federal building that evidence submitted on alleged election frauds in hake and Hartholomew counties had been considered by the grand jury before uj- ; jou t n men t. liy reason of the scope of the charges, interest centers in the Lake county case. Frank c. Dailey, special i assistant I'niied States At torney-Gen-.crai, wlm was appointed to have full charge' of the election investigations in Indiana. Ohio and Illinois, baa evi1 deuce from l,ak county said to show extensive frauds. Keporta of liet:slrn(lon. !

The reports also tell i,f the unexplained absence of ; these foreigners from the polls on election day. t is known that any ; prosecution that may follow would be ; use don alleged false registrations, rei gardless of whether the men so registered voted. i Another report is to the effect that ; -.Ten foreigners, most of them Servians, were falsely reg;setred. and voted. The grand jury also has heard tha evidence submitted by witnesses from Rartjiolome w county, where, it is said, voles were bought for from $i to $2o! Oia i i" s Baker, colored, with sever?

Raker takes his arrest with appari ent equanimity and expresses no rei grets at his cold- blooded act. It is said that this is the second time that he has attempted to kill Mrs. Tobin. i ue nrst attempt jiavmg neen made at. t-"t. Rouis. Mo., from which city they both came when thev landed in In. Jtliana Harbor. I One of the roomers in the house whete the murder occurred hear,) Giles 1 taker plead with his assaiian? that he had been hit and not to shoot again. "What do yoil want to kill me ; for, " Charlie, I'm shot already," were I the words that were used. Jones emptied his gun into the two bodies, however, then coolly came to the' dini ing room, where he stopped to refoad 1 his gun and address a remark or two ' to a couple of fellows seated at a ; table. He then escaped through the : back door. MRS. BACON MAKES ADDRESS Xot w ithstanding unfa vorable weather, Mrs. Albiati Fellows Hacon of Indianapolis, spoke to a well filled house at the meeting of the civic section of the Fast Chicago Woman's ,-lub held at the assembly rooms of toe public library last night. Mrs. Racon took for her subject. "'The Home ami the Child" and made it .an occasion for a review of the state housing law and the effect that an enforcement of that law. would have on the development of t.ie chi d.

As a temporary institution, however, designed not to undertake any newphases of relief work or relief organization, it was decided to recommend that the three organizations mentioned above each select three or fouh representatives and that these individuals constitute a Red Cross chapter and nold ' themselves Jn readiness to represent j that organisation as occasion might j require. !

They hoped that this force had been' able to wtihdraw- with success and this hope was sustained by the rapidity of the German encroachment indicating it was believed, an unopposed advance due to retirement of the Roumanians.
